"More Horsepower than a BMW 528i
That?s not a misprint. The Hyundai Sonata?s newly updated Lambda V6 boasts more horsepower than ever ? a whopping 249 to be exact ? 19 more than its Bavarian counterpart. And what?s more amazing, it achieves this feat while delivering improved fuel economy. How does this engine provide such scintillating performance? All-aluminum block and heads, Continuously Variable Valve Timing, dual overhead camshafts, 4-valves per cylinder and a variable intake system."

Few thoughts. Never compare a korean car to a german car. The sonata costs $20k the 528i cost $50k. Hyundai Sonata is a great car if you want to be a few at once. The front end is ripped from Mercedes. The side is ripped form Lexus. The back looks like the BMW 550i GT.

They're overstepping quite a bit. I'm sorry but even if a USED BMW rolled up next to a brand-new Hyundai....... its still a friggen Hyundai and always will be. You can't "FIX" a made reputation. Sorry. Their only hope is to re-brand and create a new company.

God damn I fucking hate Hyundai, their marketing is pathetic and low :thumbsdown:
And these fvckers tell themselves I have everything a BMW has and much much more for less!
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I have anything against poeople who can't afford a BMW/Merc etc...but the mindset just pisses me off. And I hate stupid people.
It's the same mindset that most Corvette drivers have, "My car is faster and cheaper...which means it's better"

Previously they compared genesis to 550, so not a big shock for me. Anyway even though they are making a lot better cars, than 10 years ago, it is not their league. +1 on poor marketing. Completely different clientel than BMW's.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I think they compared Genesis to a 7 series.

What about the new Audi commercial. WTF, Audi's are nice and all, but their advertising just pisses me off. Even if we came in second three years in a row, I would never own an Audi. Its just not as prestigious as a BMW! Oh and Hyundai's suck too, POS Korean car that's worth shit in one year.
